When Cheng Chun walked to Shaoyao with a small purse, he was a little embarrassed: "Su Xubai is very stingy and doesn't give me much money on weekdays. These are all saved from my daily expenses. I'm afraid I can't afford anything."
Good thing, I just want not to embarrass you!"
Shaoyao smiled and patted Chengchun's hand: "It's nothing to be ashamed of, but just going out for a walk, how can you get so much attention to it!"
Cheng Chun smiled shyly and walked out with Shaoyao.
Hu Sheng sent someone to explain it early in the morning. Although Lady Li was unwilling, she couldn't bear Master Li's words and had to accompany Chengchun and the others on this trip.
Cheng Chun looked at Madam Li from the side and saw tears in her eyes. It was obvious that she was really wronged. She was born into a wealthy family, her father was a moderate official and she was a direct descendant. When she got married, she was the eldest lady.
Ever since I was a child, I have never suffered any grievances, whether in my mother's family or my husband's family.
Most women like them, who are of noble birth and have a smooth life, look down on people like Cheng Chun and others who take concubines, but now he has to accompany the people she despises the most in her life, not to mention how aggrieved she is, but
It happened that the husbands of these two women were both prominent figures in the capital. Their families really couldn't afford to offend them, so she could only keep her head down to accompany them.
Most of the concubines have trouble with the wife who is the wife. The wife thinks the concubine is coquettish, while the concubine thinks the wife is prude. After all, each has his or her own objections.
It's just that because of moral principles, your concubine is always pinned to the ground by your wife and can't turn over. Now that you can finally bully other people's wives, Shaoyao still has the feeling of being a villain.
Chengchun didn't want to offend Madam Li at this time. If she normally would not go out like this, but this time, she still had to find a way to complete the things Meng Shaoqing told her, and she would save him without any hesitation.
Saved his own life.
The carriage in the house was very big, and three people would not feel crowded in it. Chengchun and Shaoyao sat together, while Lady Li sat opposite.
A wife can't be like a concubine. She can be as willful as she wants. She always has to save face for her father outside, so even if she was unhappy in her heart, she still said with a smile: "Is Miss Chun's injury feeling better?
"
Since arriving in Jiangnan, no one has called Cheng Chun "Miss" for a long time. It took Cheng Chun a long time to come back to his senses. In the end, he just smiled: "It's much better. It's nothing serious. I just received a little shock!"
"That woman is a young lady in our family. Because her child died young and she got crazy, I usually have people to take care of me. Yesterday she ran out for no reason, and even hurt Miss Chun.
You're injured, it's really my fault for keeping you in check!" Madam Li looked at Cheng Chun and said softly.
Cheng Chun smiled. She had already heard the words Mrs. Li said repeated by several people, but they were not interesting, so she asked: "How come that child didn't get it? How could a newly born child say no?"
Is it gone?"
"That was a daughter. She had a big head when she was born, and she couldn't bear it. When she was finally born, she was so suffocated that her whole body turned black. She said she was suffocating in her stomach. She couldn't make it through the whole night. That day
It disappeared during the night." Madam Li said helplessly, "I know, there are all kinds of things outside, but the child he gave birth to is just a daughter, and I'm not so cruel as to even marry off a younger daughter.
I can’t tolerate it.”
"Then she is fine, why is she crazy? There are many mothers who have lost their children in this world, but I have never seen one who went crazy as soon as she was born!" Shaoyao on the side couldn't help but said.
Mrs. Li's face changed slightly, and after a while she said: "While he was in confinement, others were always taking care of him, and everyone was arranged by the master. From the beginning to the end, I never arranged anything, let alone interfered with him.
In the yard, so I really don’t know what happened to him during his confinement period!”
Madam Li's words have already reached this point, so Shaoyao naturally doesn't want to keep asking questions aggressively, but her face has not been very good.
The carriage moved forward slowly. Shaoyao felt bored, so he opened the curtain and looked outside. Only then did he realize that there was no one on the street, and the shops on both sides of the street had their doors tightly closed, as if there was no sound.
"When the refugees rioted, the entire city of Huizhou was in chaos. No business could escape the looting of the refugees. Now that the disaster is still going on, who dares to open the door at this time?" Lady Li said calmly.
"You clearly knew it would be like this, why are you still stopping us from going out? You are obviously seeing our joke!" Shaoyao was furious, pointing at Madam Li and said.
Madam Li was not in a hurry: "Little madam, don't be anxious. Since I have brought you out, there will naturally be somewhere to go. Don't you want to visit a jewelry store? I have already made arrangements for you. Yes.
It is the largest shop in Huizhou, and people would naturally open the door to welcome us when we used to do it. Although I have no skills, I am still the wife of the prefect of Huizhou, so I can still do this little thing."
Mrs. Li's words were like slaps, hitting Shaoyao's face again and again.
Chengchun saw Shaoyao's face turned ugly. Chengchun quickly said: "Ms. Li is determined. I still have to go out for a walk at this time. It's my fault. I also want Ms. Li and Sister Shaoyao to accompany me.
Blame me!”
Mrs. Li took a deep look at Cheng Chun, then looked at Shaoyao, smiled, and then said: "That shop is opened by my mother's family, and I also have some shares. When you go there, if you like it, feel free to
It’s just that you have come all the way here, and I haven’t been able to treat you well. It’s me who’s rude, and the two ladies don’t care about me. They’re already giving our master face.”
It was easy to say it in a high-sounding way, but hearing it made all three people feel uncomfortable.
After all, Mrs. Li still looks down on them. After all, how can a lady like him look down on poor women like them with mud-legged backgrounds? When speaking, she often can't help but raise her chin slightly, and her eyes look down on her.
Full of pride.
When he was in the capital, Chengchun really saw too many expressions like this, so he was a little surprised. Although he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't care about it that much anymore.
Along the way, the three people each had their own thoughts, but they were all hypocritical and smiling.
